Former Gov. Eliot Spitzer Making Another Attention-Grabbing Move in a Different Arena: Skyscrapers

Less than four months after losing his bid at a political comeback, former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer is making another attention-grabbing move in a different arena: skyscrapers.

Mr. Spitzer said he is planning a large real estate development on Manhattan's far West Side; last week his family's firm—under his direction—paid $88 million for a vacant property where an office or hotel tower could be built.
